there should be some sort of title for most km per year of manufacture. no cabs eligible..

Then maybe these cars need to pass a reasonable condition test, need to be roadworthy and still in use and we grant the award.

Some brands like Mercedes, Volvo and Subaru give you a badge to put on your car once it has reached a km milstone like 250,000km. I dont know if they offer this in Australia though.

Be a good idea for Ford to make some badges and if you take your car to a dealer and show the odometer you get the badge to put on your grill or boot. Excellent advertising for people on the road to see how long lasting Falcons are and also a good way to get existing Ford owners a reason to pop into a dealer (and maybe check out some of the new cars there).
